"That won't get you anywhere."
"You won't make any money with that."

"Go into the medical field! So much easier."
Sigh. I'm sure you've heard things like these as well and it doesn't feel great at all. It made me feel like what I hope to do and accomplish with my life isn't good enough. It made me feel like I won't be as great or even be as happy if I don't join another major that would guarantee a bigger check on pay day. I then came to the realization that if this is what I really want to do, then it won't matter how much I'm getting paid or where I'm working. My dad's girlfriend's daughter was born with Angelman Syndrome and due
to her birth defect, she can't speak at all but by working with a speech
therapist, it's allowed her to communicate easily with us and in the
future I hope to give a family the comfort of speaking to their child or
a wife to her husband. As long as I get to help a person who is struggling to speak because of an accident or because they were born with a birth defect that doesn't allow them to speak, then I'm okay with majoring in Psychology and being happy with where I settle in life. Mainly, I hope that if you ever feel discouraged by someone who doesn't support your choice in majors, I beg you to do whatever makes you happy because at the end of the day, it's your life and not theirs. And remember.. Not everyone has to join the medical field.
This is actually a very big help for those of us struggling what to find , to make our parents proud. What you said has a huge statement in the phrase," follow your dreams". Even though people may disagree with what you want to do in life, doesn't mean you have to listen to their every word. We know they love us and want the best but, if they love us, shouldn't they not have a problem with what we want in our lives. No matter how hard you work ,it'll be worth it in the long run. I feel as though if you do something you love for every day work , it wont feel like working at all. Fighting for want you want in life is a daily struggle for all the young and old people in our life time. having the dream job just seems like a fantasy , considering the economy. But this post does remind you of the true hard working people that want positivity in their own lives. not only for themselves , but for the people even around them. Personally , I will not work in the medical field. it seems like a everyday boring job. I know I wont have the will power to do so in that field, so why even do it at all?
